Luxury and Comfort in your own tropical resort

10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I spent a wonderful week at this amazing house in Uvita. Before we even got there, Licho, was fantastic. He was responsive and assisted us to set up transportation from the airport, a rental car at the house, a whale watching tour and massages at the house. He greeted us warmly upon arrival and was available anytime as needed during our stay. The house is wonderful. The kitchen has everything you could ever need. The bathrooms are spacious and beautiful. The beds are very comfortable which is nice. The house has plenty of fans and good lighting.The outdoor space is incredible. There is ample seating everywhere. There is plenty of shade. The views are lovely. The pool is the highlight. It is so large and excellent for swimming. There is so much wildlife on the property. Tons of birds and butterflies and geckos. There were visits from toucans multiple times per day. I saw a basilisk lizard and was told when the mangos are ripe there are regular monkeys onsite. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. It was a magical week."

"We could not have had a better experience. We were much later arriving than anticipated. Sophia was incredibly accommodating and met us in Uvita to guide us up the hill to the property. The property and view are stunning and incredibly private. The grounds are beautifully maintained. We saw toucans and many other beautiful birds from the pool and balcony. Sunsets were gorgeous as well. Sophia and Trina were wonderful hosts and made sure we had everything we needed and more. We stayed for a week and were not ready to leave when it ended. Please take the advice of needing a 4x4 seriously."
